Sahih al-Bukhari 4436 (Book 65, Hadith 164)
those whom `Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra’ (learned men knowing Qur’an by heart) were
the people of `Umar’s meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. ‘Uyaina said to his
nephew, “O son of my brother! You have an approach to this chief, so get for me the permission to see
him.” Al-Hurr said, “I will get the permission for you to see him.” So Al-Hurr asked the permission
for ‘Uyaina and `Umar admitted him. When ‘Uyaina entered upon him, he said, “Beware! O the son of
Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice.”
Thereupon `Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him, but Al-Hurr said, “O chief of the
Believers! Allah said to His Prophet: “Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and leave (don’t
punish) the foolish.” (7.199) and this (i.e. ‘Uyaina) is one of the foolish.” By Allah, `Umar did not
overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of) Allah’s Book
strictly.
